Why you need product liability insurance
Product liability insurance is recommended for anyone who sells, manufactures, or distributes a product, including food products.
It’s also recommended for online retailers, in addition to retailers with store locations.
What product liability insurance covers
- Design defects: There’s something wrong with the product’s design.
- Manufacturing defects: Something went wrong during manufacturing.
- Marketing missteps: A mistake in marketing materials, such as improper labels.
- Insufficient warnings: The product doesn’t include sufficient warning/information about potential harm.
Product liability protects your business if a product harms a customer, even if you’re not at fault or it wasn’t your intention.
Here’s how it can help you:
A customer claims that a frozen pizza your business sold her gave her a serious case of food poisoning and a trip to the hospital, causing her to miss work for an extended period. The customer successfully sues you for bodily injury. Your product liability insurance would help cover the legal expenses and costs to recall the product.
What is not covered by product liability Insurance?
This type of insurance only covers third-party bodily injuries or third-party property damages caused by a product you sell or manufacture. Any other damages to a third-party, such as slip-and-fall injuries, would be covered under a separate general liability insurance policy.
How much product liability insurance do you need?
The amount of coverage you need will depend on things like the products you are selling and their associated risks.
